OPet portrait

•When you point the camera at a dog or cat, the camera detects the pet’s face and focuses on it. By default, the shutter is automatically released when focus is acquired (pet portrait auto release).

•On the screen displayed when OPet portrait is selected, select Single or Continuous.

-Single: The camera takes one image at a time.

-Continuous (default setting): When focus is acquired on the detected face, the camera automatically releases the shutter 3 times. The frame rate with continuous shooting is about

1.1fps. If you manually release the shutter, up to 6 images can be captured at a rate of about

1.1fps while the shutter-release button is held down (when the image mode is set to x5152×3864).

B Using Pet Portrait Auto Release

•To change the Pet portrait auto release setting, press the multi selector J (n).

-Y(default setting): When the camera detects a pet face, it focuses on the face and then releases the shutter automatically.

-OFF: The camera does not release the shutter automatically, even if a pet face is detected. Press the shutter-release button to release the shutter. The camera also detects human faces (A68). If the camera detects a human face and a pet face in the same shot, it focuses on the pet face.

•Pet portrait auto release turns off automatically when:
